Woke up tired this morning. Lots on my mind.
My daughter has BP as well and now my oldest daughter is struggling.
She is one of the strongest people I know and in the last 6 months I've notice a huge change in her. She now is almost debilitated with extreme anxiety. She is struggling to function day to day. So sad to watch.

I'm really worried. There is such a significant mental illness history in her family and I'm so afraid that she is going to go through the hell her sister and I have gone through.

I've managed to convince her to get some therapy and I'll be going with her today to set everything up with her, including a pdoc. The quicker she acts on this, the better off she'll be.

She told me that I'm an inspiration for her. She's watched me go from the absolute bottom to being able to start to manage this illness and she feels that since services have worked so well for me then it's worth trying.

To her advantage, she has a Mom who truly gets it and she knows that I'm with her every step of the way.
